Miss Loser is too enchanting

Dugu Qianye was at a loss for words, watching as Xiaohuo remained silent.

Xiaohuo said, "Well, about that, I’ve already collected their living expenses..."

"Pfft—hahaha!" Hao Pengyou burst into laughter upon hearing Xiaohuo’s words. Xiaohuo was just too adorable, actually collecting living expenses from them!

Meanwhile, the spiritual beasts nodded vigorously, their expressions saying ’I’ve paid my dues.’

Black and White Impermanence could no longer think straight. They had lived for several hundred years but had never come across such a thing. Today’s shocks were just too much.

Xiaohuo saw that Dugu Qianye was not speaking and thought she might be angry. Just as she was about to say that she didn’t need to take so much, Dugu Qianye patted her head, saying, "Xiaohuo did well. With so many spiritual beasts, we won’t have to worry about being bullied when we go out. Haha!"

Hearing her say this, the spiritual beasts finally relaxed. Dugu Qianye put all the spiritual beasts into the Refining Demon Pot, leaving behind a few of higher rank. It took her a little over a day to tame and put them into the pot.

"This little guy doesn’t go easy on anyone!" Bei Wuchang said, watching Dugu Qianye tirelessly tame the spiritual beasts. When others tamed high-rank spiritual beasts, it would take over a day to complete, and they would need a long rest before they could continue. But she was done in an hour or two, showing no signs of fatigue but becoming more and more spirited instead!

"Number Five has found a good disciple," Hei Wuchang said, feeling envious for the first time that Black had taken on such an excellent disciple.

"If Master saw her, he would definitely like her a lot." Bei Wuchang said, "She has a good nature too, being extra kind to those who are good to her, and to those who bully her, she’d wipe out their three clans! Haha, I like that!"

"You like everyone, except for those few disciples of yours," Hei Wuchang remarked.

"What do you mean I don’t like them? I’m strict with them for their own good, it’s their fault for being so dense! But, looking at it now, it seems I truly set the bar too low when I took on disciples back then!" Bei Wuchang protested, his look of disdain would have made his own disciples feel even more disheartened if they had known!

After Dugu Qianye finished taming all the spiritual beasts, they rested for a night before leaving. That night, she sorted through the power she had gained from the contract with the Vine Emperor and taming the spiritual beasts, as it could easily lead to an unstable foundation later on. Although she had a lot more power than before, she was still far from promotion.

The next day, they were preparing to leave Wuwang Mountain Range.

When Black and White Impermanence came out of their tent, they saw a strange man in black gathering things at Dugu Qianye’s location and instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

The man paused in his actions, looking at Black and White Impermanence and said, "Uncles, I am Qianye."

"You’re Qianye?" Bei Wuchang said, as he remembered that Dugu Qianye had the Phantom Ring and a mask.

Hao Pengyou came out, saw Dugu Qianye’s appearance, and said, "Didn’t expect you to look good as a man too, with not a hint of femininity. You’re really getting into the character, not bad, not bad."

Why did she feel that his words were implying she lacked feminine charm?!

"What name do you plan to use?" Hei Wuchang asked.

With the change, should I take a new name as well?

"Baili Xie," Dugu Qianye said.

"Baili Xie," this name had been used on the Xuanyue Continent for quite some time; when Hei Wuchang inquired about it, she instinctively thought of this one.

"Baili Xie, not bad," Bei Wuchang said, "From now on, we’ll call you Baili."

Hao Pengyou and Zi Xiao were also required to change their appearance, and Dugu Qianye took out two elixirs for them. Seeing Zi Xiao’s disgruntled face, she said, "It’s sweet." Only then did Zi Xiao take and eat it.

Shortly after, their facial features began to shift—eyebrows appeared thicker, noses seemed higher, facial lines grew coarser, and their faces filled out. At first glance, the changes were indeed significant. Together with the completely unfamiliar Dugu Qianye, no one would associate these three as the leaders who destroyed the Feng Family branch.

Since Dugu Qianye’s identity needed to stay hidden, Xiaohuo and the others couldn’t show up anymore. Besides, they were in no rush to return, so Dugu Qianye and her companions chose a Lion Eagle as their mount.

Upon leaving the Wuwang Mountain, the Vine Emperor on Dugu Qianye’s hand was quite excited, and Dugu Qianye could feel its joy. Now that it had transformed into a ferocious Man-Eating Flower, paired with the Skeleton Earring on her ear, it added a touch of wickedness and fierceness to her originally delicate appearance.

To use the Transmission Array, they arrived at the nearest city, where they heard quite a few things about themselves.

Because Dugu Qianye had announced her name when annihilating the Feng Family branch, the entire Continent now knew of her renown. The main Feng Family was furious, instructing all of their disciples to find her and execute her!

Latter, the Divine Temple released a statement saying that when Dugu Qianye was in Songgu City she provoked the dignity of the Divine Temple, injuring and killing members of the Divine Guard Team; they issued a Divine Red Order, commanding all disciples across the Continent to execute her on sight.

At once, the entire Continent was in an uproar! She had managed to offend two major powers—quite a feat indeed! Even more astonishing was that in the midst of this widespread search, Dugu Qianye and the Mo Family members vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

Several days had passed since the destruction of the Feng Family’s Wulai City branch, and yet there was still no sign of Dugu Qianye and her companions. This caused great anger among the higher-ups of both the main Feng Family and the Divine Temple, who continuously intensified the search efforts and offered double rewards for information provided by the public.

Their portraits were now spread across the entire Continent, and the whole population pondered where they could have gone. Some said she went to the West Continent, others believed she had returned to the Xuanyue Continent, and there were even rumors that she’d ventured into the Blue Sea Domain to hide, perishing under the attack of Sea Beasts. But no matter what the speculation, none imagined that she was right under their noses.

Dugu Qianye and the others were sitting in an inn having lunch, listening to the dining patrons claiming that she had three heads and six arms and could ascend to heaven and burrow into the earth. The thought reminded her immediately of Sun Wukong, and she found herself amused to no end.

Some were vocally overjoyed as well. The Divine Temple did not enjoy the same level of reverence here as in the Xuanyue Continent. Moreover, because the Temple’s people often colluded with the Feng Family to commit acts of harm against the common folk, many despised them. Powerless due to their immense strength, the discontented could only grind their teeth in hatred without taking action. Now, Dugu Qianye’s revelation instantly won over the respect and affection of many. Some even declared that if they knew her whereabouts, they wouldn’t disclose it.

"I heard that the Feng Family’s assembly has been postponed. Pushed back to the end of the year," one person mentioned.

"Why? There’s never been such a precedent before." another person inquired.

"Isn’t it because they can’t find the culprit behind the destruction of the Wulai City branch?"
